Answer»

Right option is (a) Cookies

The best I can explain: Cookies are tiny files which GET downloaded to your SYSTEM when you visit a website. They are a very important PART of hacking and so clearing the browser’s cookies, cache & history may eradicate data such as address bar predictions, saved passwords and SHOPPING cart CONTENTS so that hackers don’t steal them.
